[Q] Is it possible to root Xperia p with an app? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Title says it all. I had my Xperia p rooted with a custom rom but I returned to stock 6.2.A.0.400 cause that custom rom had some problems unsolved. Currently I don't have a PC and I was wondering if are there any apps that give root like z4 or something else. Thanks in advance
Happy New Year everybody!

Possible for sure, if computer can do it, an android application would also deal with it, but the problem is that it's just harder (as I know) to make such a script. It would be also awesome to have an opportunity of installing recovery for locked via app

Yeap. But is there an app that roots Xperia p? Because I used z4root and framaroot and they don't work... I really Need root access. Thanks for your answer mate.

No that doesn't exist, you need to use your computer for root. The good days of rooting your device with an app on gingerbread are over.

Ask the wrong questions and you will get the wrong unswers.
"Rooting" is usually sripts/binaries using an exploit, make no difference if it's an app running them or it's done with adb.
Your ROM has no known exploits and therefore cannot be rooted, period. And it is unlikely anyone is going to make one as this ROB is buggy as hell and besides you no one in his right mind using it.
What issues you had with the ROM and why won't you use stock 6.2.A.1.100 which is pretty awesome?
And happy new year to you too

Root app? Not only kernel?

Hey, i just got my sgs II yesterday and i wanted to ask if there is an app for rooting?
I've seen that there's a thread with "and then there was root". But i just came from SE xperia x10 and there we just had to use superoneclick.
So is it possible to only use an app or something like superoneclick? Or in near future?

Hi Mate,
Glad you escaped the x10.
We dont have Xrecovery to flash the zips as yet - as we did with the X10. J or Z might be willing to lend a hand though.
Its mainly through ODIN flashing the insecure kernel to give root access. Its quite stable and no FC's or anything like the half finished roms in the X10.
You should be able to find the thread from the DEV of SetCPU to give you overclock too.
Everything is getting there slowly.
S
I know that stuff with odin (beginner because i didnt use it yet)
So odin is something like xrec? Something similiar?
For me it's a lil bit strange to gain root only with flashing a kernel... (or did i misunderstand that?)

I want to root but......,,,

Guys i wanna root my Xperia S but i have some questions..
So basicly my questions:
1. Will i have problems with root when i want to update to ICS
2. If i update to ICS will root stay or do i have to re-root
3. If yes for question 2 will there be root for ICS the first day ICS will arrive?
4. My last question can someone give me a link for a good tutorial to root my xperia s..?
Thanks all
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
yes for now the only way to root is to install the custom img using the fastboot which required the unlocking once you give it imei to sony the the only option to get the ICS will be via the flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527133
So my xperia interface will change a bit if i do this root?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
No change to the interface once you root.
Guys come on be a little more specific, i am new to android i dont know what all these stuff means etc explain me when u say something in good details. What is flashtool. Pleaseee
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
If you don't really understand what rooting your phone means then I would suggest that you don't really have a need to do it.
If you want to know how to unlock your bootloader and root your XS then read the relevant stickies in the Dev Forum, they explain everything in detail, you just have to spend the time to read them.

Yes, but the root bit will be the same...
Won't it?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
The process may be similar but he'll need to flash a pre-rooted version of the FW he's using or Doomkernel.
If he's planning on sticking with GB he'd be better to use one of DoomLord's methods so he can get CWM.
Guys the rollout for ICS is iminent do I just wait for that and root then.
Plus I cant find pre rooted 75 build any where...
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Just go with the ICS everyone else is flashing; it works like a.charm.
If you want to stay with GB, then I think there is a rooted 76 somewhere around here.

you have to flash a Prerootets System image or a prerootet kernel... take al look at the devs forum, you found everything you need - try out Advanced stock kernel and then, through the recovery, install the Doomkernel and, if you needet, the WIFI modules

Hmmm...every phone can be root if you know how but since you are on GB firmware then just use Flashtool to root it....
just follow THIS TUTORIAL on how to root....

its up to you but i would suggest you try a look if your phone bootloader can be unlock...if it can be unlock then i highly recommend you unlock it and flash custom kernel....custom kernel is very good since all custom kernel are pre-rooted and all have recovery by default (CWM/TWRP or Both).... that means you don't have to root your phone and install recovery again and again...
Good news is my phone can unlock the bootloader but the reason i want to root because i want clear my internal memory, 53 mb left and i want to transfer all my app to sd card and to remove bloatware app.. As far i know unlocking the bootloader will not help solve my problem, am i right?

We're not allowed to ask for the best rom/kernel so try some and find the best one for your usage
Btw remember unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty! You don't have to unlock it in order to root it

ICS will NEVER stop lag. Its ics feature (XD) if u want a unlaggy phone get JB or up with a 3.4xxx kernel. Mike's Legacy Xperia id a good choice , and its very suitable for a daily use. recently he gaved us a final CM10.1 version which i woul advice to you to try. :good::good: damn its so smoooth

Hmm,but unlocking bootloader wont help solve my problem like insufficient internal memory space and removing bloatware, am i right? When i try to check my phone with Root Checker, its say my device doesn't have proper root access. What that suppose to mean? Did i accidently delete a file or something else.. Or upgrading to ICS can help solve this 'root access' problem? Sorry i'm very noob at this..

Just root it (again). Use eroot or any other method in my guide and root it. Afterwards root checker will prompt a proper root access and it should work
